Picture an industrial kitchen with concrete, steel and open shelves
Industrial kitchens borrow from restaurant and workshop kitchens: concrete or stainless steel worktops, dark matte cabinets in charcoal, black or deep green, open shelving on black steel brackets or pipe, a metro tile splashback with dark grout, exposed ducting over the cooker and factory pendants over the island. Upload a photo of your kitchen to ImageQuarry, ask for the industrial version, and compare front colors and worktop materials version by version before any order is placed.
Compare concrete, steel and dark fronts on your own kitchen layout.

What is a industrial kitchen?
An industrial kitchen is a durable, workshop inspired kitchen with dark matte cabinets, concrete or stainless steel worktops, open shelving on metal brackets, metro tile and factory lighting.
It is not the same as a modern farmhouse kitchen, which pairs white cabinets with a farmhouse sink and warmer rustic wood.
Industrial kitchen questions
Can I see dark cabinets in my kitchen first?
Upload the photo, select it and ask for dark fronts, naming what to keep. The new version appears next to the original.
Concrete or steel?
Concrete feels warmer and more crafted; steel feels more professional. Compare a version of each.
Will a dark kitchen feel small?
In small kitchens, try dark lower cabinets with light upper walls or open shelves.
Can I keep adjusting this industrial kitchen?
Yes. Each request builds on the kitchen version you selected, so you can change one industrial detail at a time.
Can I compare industrial kitchen versions and download one?
Yes. Line up the industrial kitchen versions you made, choose the one you would build, and download it to share with whoever is quoting the work.
Can a restaurant photo guide it?
Add it as a reference. It can guide the result; review each version to see how close it gets.
